For Heaven’s Sake: Organist Mark Herman at Embassy Theatre

Every piece of classical music that For Heaven's Sake: Organist Mark Herman touches turns into solid sparkling gold. The Fort Wayne native and youngest-ever ATOS Organist of the Year (2012) will bring Harold Lloyd's 1926 silent comedy classic "For Heaven's Sake" to life as part of the Embassy theater's Grande Page Organ Shows series, performing on the historic Grande Page pipe organ affectionately known as "Miss Page" - the same instrument he first played as a fourth grader. As one of America's busiest theatre organists with over 30 concerts annually and commissions for the Criterion Collection, he has several albums under his belt, each of which has earned playlist spots on Spotify and local radio.
He handles everything with the care it deserves. After all, each composition possesses a unique charm influenced by its intended setting. Mark Herman shows his experience and grasp of various symphonic pieces and silent film scores by performing with a mix of historical accuracy and modern flair.
While the Grande Page organ gives its all during elaborate instrumentals and solo highlights, he approaches each piece as though it took flight in its original time period. His aptitude and attention to detail, combined with commitment and uncompromisingly high standards, transport the fan to a distant time and place in history.
